This document will be available in my website. It will be updated after each class so you know what we did in class and what you have to do for the next class
Wednesday January 23
We covered some topics of sections 1.1, 1.2, & 1.3 – do the suggested homework and complete all handouts that have not been finished in class
In order to study math, besides reading the book and the examples you have to practice, practice, and practice! The more problems you do, the more you learn and the more you get to ENJOY MATH. Try to put at least two hours PER DAY in your Math homework.
